Chosen by Apple as Game of the Week!

”Bumpy Road is one of the best purchases I’ve made on the app store. Not just because the gameplay has a hook unlike anything I’ve played on an iOS device, but also because it’s got a fantastic aesthetic.” - IGN.com (9/10 Editor's Choice)

”While Bumpy Road is indeed a solid high scoring game, it’s the peripheral elements that transcend it from being merely a well-made video game to an unforgettable experience ... if you like high scoring games or touching works of art, then you won’t want to miss Bumpy Road ” - Toucharcade.com

"Must Have" - Slidetoplay.com (4/4)

” ... playing it means feeling love, not love for the designers or the medium or the state of being meaningfully distracted or the sense of communion with everyone who does this or even the game itself, but love. The feeling of love.” - Killscreendaily.com

A gem, beautiful and original!

Art and music are both lovely. Game mechanics are novel but still feel familiar. This is game design done right!

It isn't for everyone.

Just because you don't like an app doesn't mean you should question ratings. The description is there for a reason, you read it and decide whether or not to buy the app. You take a chance. The only reason it's so expensive is because it look long to make and that is clearly visible by the laboriously crafted screenshots. Either way, you spend more buying a box of donuts or some other expendable item as opposed to an app you can play wherever, whenever and pass on to family and friends. Big expense... Not.

This game is beautiful, simple and sweet. I was so impressed I picked up Simogo's other app Kosmos Spin (and suggest it to everyone else!) and have not regretted it. I'm reluctant to buy apps, and Bumpy Road being the most expensive I've ever picked up, I was hesitant. But it's a good game with subtleties to appreciate beyond the gameplay itself. There's a lovely immersive story. It's simplistic. Not to mention, brand new and still awaiting what will likely be amazing updates. So be patient. (Apple wouldn't feature it if it wasn't noteworthy - that said, not everyone should jump on the bandwagon.)

If this game isn't for you there are plenty of birds waiting up high in the branches of the App Store. Nuff said.

A totally new take on the randomized platformer runner genre!

I love how, even though both "Evergreen Ride" and "Sunday Trip" feature randomized courses with the same basic gameplay, they're pretty unique beasts.

Evergreen Ride: It is all about getting the points! Your score is a combination of the distance you traveled (before running out of fuel or falling in a puddle), gizmos collected, and all of the things you did on your trip (bonus stages triggered, springs bounced on, pictures found, edges hung off, etc.).

Sunday Trip: This is all about completing the trip (a set length but still in a fairly randomized course) as quickly as possible. In this mode gizmos and stop watches will help you reduce the official final time of your trip. The sporadic turbo boosts icons can be used to give you a little extra momentum. Since this mode has no hazards you will always be able to finish your trip, it is just a matter of how efficiently you do so. I love how this game mode has you constantly weighing cruising the course as quickly as possible with going slightly off your ideal path to snag some extra boosts, stop watches, and gizmos.
